Susie Garrard of Renowned for Sound gave the album a favorite review saying "Though there was a great deal of charm to the untried, untested talent that hinted at a great deal more to come, Rhodes more than delivers on that promise with Wishes... you get the feeling that even now, Rhodes is still just beginning to touch the edges of his talent." [4]

Manuel Berger from the German music review website laut.de praised the album and compared Rhodes' musical style to that of Hozier and Lana Del Rey among others. The critic wrote that the album has the potential to suit the taste of a wide variety of listeners. [5]

The band was formed in 1968 by John "Ozzy" Osbourne (vocals), Tony Iommi, Terence "Geezer" Butler, and Bill Ward (drums). The band has undergone multiple lineup changes. Though the second most recent line-up of the band to work together were Ronnie James Dio, Vinny Appice, Iommi, and Butler, for three new songs for a compilation in 2007, the original line-up was still considered the "current" lineup at the time and had been since their reunion in 1997.

In June 2013, a partial reformation of the original line-up released 13, which was the first album to feature Osbourne on vocals since 1978's Never Say Die!.
